Getting to know Dr. Mojdeh Motamedi

Starting therapy can be tough, so just being here is already a big first step—well done. My specialties are working with children and teens experiencing anxiety, OCD, trauma, and selective mutism. I also have lots of experience addressing depression, behavioral issues, ADHD, autism, parenting challenges, eating disorders, and other concerns, as well as working with adults. I’m a tri-lingual licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to providing high-quality evidence-based care. You can rest assured I'm pulling from best practices, as I train other therapists and I have researched how to improve the quality of mental health services.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I aim to ensure you feel heard, validated, supported, and that we are addressing your goals. Goals my clients have achieved include not avoiding things, making friends, improving relationships, speaking up, reducing/increasing behaviors, sleeping better, feeling happier, focusing more, worrying less, processing trauma, school improvement, and acceptance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We can start with a free 15-minute consultation call to help you feel confident about whether I’d be a good fit for you. If not, I'd happily make suggestions to help you find a better fit. If you live in South San Diego, I'm open to discussing meeting in person. Note, this is the Psychology Today profile where I am accepting clients.
